Pick your rental type
Daily rental
Vehicles are supplied by the local branch of Enterprise and can be delivered to the University (free of charge) or to your home address (charge applies). One-way hire is also possible. The minimum rental period is one day and vehicles can be hired for a number of weeks if required. Vehicles must be booked using the business-to-business (B2B) online booking tool. All hire rates include insurance cover.
Hourly rental
Car Club vehicles are available across the UK. Use the online booking system to check where the closest vehicle is. Vehicles can be hired for a minimum of one hour. Significant cost savings can be made using the Car Club if the vehicle is required for just a short time.
